Well, for one, the facility has been inspected by a structural engineer and is once again open for business -- save for the sinkhole-ridden Skydome. We also know that plans to restore the damaged Corvettes are in the works courtesy of Chevrolet, though whether the cars at the bottom of the rubble pile are even salvageable remains to be seen. We won't known until the cars are extracted.

And that's where things get tricky. To get the cars out of the sinkhole, engineers will have to reinforce the shaky ground under the Skydome, then remove a few of the dome's panels to accommodate a crane, according to Bowling Green's WKBO.

We've been scanning the situation for awhile and nothing that gripping has transpired. Men wearing hardhats and reflective vests wander across the field of view from time to time. Sometimes, they walk around the sinkhole. No one ever gets too close to the edge. The Corvettes remain at the bottom, cold and scared. Are there more interesting webcams out there? At the moment, certainly. But once they figure out how to get a crane in that place, it should make for prime viewing.

Once the cars are removed from the 40-foot-wide pit, they'll be shipped GM's facilities in Warren, Mich., for assessment and eventual restoration. The Corvette museum could use some restoration work of its own, but at the rate things are progressing, we wouldn't be shocked if the Skydome was once again open for visitors in short order.
